SCIATICA AND ITS HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT
June 25, 2007
SCIATICA AND ITS HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT
Sciatic nerve happens to be the longest nerve in our body. It starts from our spinal cord in the lower back and passes down through the hip into the back area of the lower leg When we say ‘Sciatica’ we refer to the pain in this sciatic nerve. As this nerve passes down through the pelvis, hip and to the backside of the lower leg, the sciatica pain whenever it occurs, is felt in the areas through which it passes. This nerve controls many muscles of the lower leg and also controls the sensation of thigh, leg and feet.
Pain that travels from the lower back or from the hip through the back part of the thigh to the lower part of the leg or to the foot is usually very indicative of sciatica.
Sciatica pain can range from a simple dull ache to severe electric like shocks. The pain can at times be so severe that the patient may hardly be able to move out of bed. Usually patients complain of pain while walking or standing but at times reverse of this happens, the pain is worse while lying down in a normal sleeping or lying posture and patient has no other option other than to stand or walk or lie in certain uncomfortable posture
Patients with sciatica may suffer from additional symptoms such as numbness and weakness along the course of nerve, tingling and pins and needles feeling (mostly in the foot or toes) and loss of bladder and bowel control ( this an emergency medical condition).
Sciatica is not a disease in itself but a symptom of the sciatic nerve being irritated or compressed (‘pinched’ as one may call it in a layman?s language) along its course. The most common place for this to occur is the lower part of the spine where the nerve roots of the sciatic nerve are compressed by a prolapsed (slipped) disc. Pinching of the nerve due to a Disc prolapse is the most common cause. Other medical conditions including trauma to the spine, spinal tumors, and spondylolisthesis (slipping of one vertebra over the other) and lumbar vertebral canal stenosis can cause sciatica.
Homeopathy as a natural system of medicine offers distinct advantages to the people who suffer from sciatica. The biggest advantage that homoeopathy offers is that it is able to treat the pain very effectively and is able to rectify the compression or irritation on the sciatic nerve. Homeopathic medicine Colocynth stands tall in the homeopathic list of medicine used for treating sciatica. It can work wonders in treating Sciatica. It is mostly used in treating right sided sciatica pain. Whenever there is numbness associated with pain, homeopathic medicine Gnaphlium is a remedy of unquestioned benefit. Rhus tox covers nearly all kinds of sciatica symptoms and many a times it is the first choice. Rhus tox is indicated when the patient feels pain while beginning to move and is little relived by walking.
Another great benefit of using homoeopathy is that along with the treatment of sciatica homoeopathy also aims at strengthening the patient’s constitution in order to prevent further recurrences.
Preventing sciatica
The key to prevent sciatica is to prevent any damage to your lower spine. The following tips can be very helpful if executed properly
Exercising regularly
This can strengthen back and abdominal muscles, thus preventing damage to your vertebral column.
Good posture
Maintain a good posture while sitting and use an ergonomically designed chair which properly supports your hips and does not press upon your back of the thighs and knees while sitting
What is Slipped Disk or Disk Prolapse ?
Pain in the back due a ‘slipped disc?’ (also referred as herniated disc) can be very agonizing and can effects ones life in many ways. It can effect even the normal essential movements like sitting standing and walking; causing sharp shooting pains in the area of the affected disk. In severe cases relentless pain can occur even with simple movements causing one to lie down in one position for hours and days at a time. Homoeopathic treatment can be very effective in both the acute and chronic cases of slipped disk problem. It can even be a big boon for the patients as it can save advanced cases from the surgeon?s knife.
What exactly is slipped disc and how can it cause such pain? Our spine comprises of mainly the bones (vertebrae), the disks and the spinal cord .Bones (vertebrae) are stacked one on top of each other to form the backbone. Through these vertebrae passes the spinal cord .Discs are a kind of cushions that are positioned between two vertebrae. They act as shock absorber in the spine. These disks are round and flat in shape and are made up of tough outer covering which surrounds a jelly like material called nucleus.
Although the slipping of the disc can be triggered due to a trauma like over stretching or lifting weight etc. It is difficult to pinpoint one single cause for this kind of disc problem. This problem often occurs out of gradual degeneration of the disk and is related to the aging process. Gradually over a period of time, as we age, the discs loose their water content and both the outer shell as well as the inner nucleus becomes stiffer and brittle. As the discs wear out, their outer covering becomes more prone to getting torn. It is when the outer covering of the discs that get torn and the nucleus moves out to irritate the nerve passing by, that the pain occurs. The pain can occur in back, hips or even legs. This is called as slipped disk.
Although the slipped disk can occur anywhere in the backbone, the lumbar are (lower back area) is more prone for this kind of disk problem.
Homoeopathic treatment of slipped disc is usually based on the symptoms that are presented in an individual case. For example In an individual with ?slipped disc? where the pain is traveling down to the leg, the homoeopathic medicine prescribed will be different from an individual who has pain just confined to the back only.
Acute cases need to be treated differently with different set of homoeopathic medicines like Rhus tox, Arnica, Ruta, Hypericum, Variolinum, Agaricus and Bryonia. Further, after the acute attack has subsided, the constitutional remedies may be required to strengthen the patients overall health, thus reducing the risk of another herniated disk.
Chronic back pain can occur in patients whose herniated disk hasn?t resolved properly. Homoeopathic medicines Kali Carb, Calcarea flour, Aesculus, Cobaltum, and Rhus tox can work wonders in resolving these unfinished cases.

dear Dr. I have requested for your advise with regard to one of my cousins spinal cord injury two months ago. but no reply.
doctor, since the last one month, i am having very acute back pain in the lower region of my back due to which i had difficulty in sleeping and walking. I was on painkillers and injection but that didnt help much. I showed in Apollo and the docs told me to do an X-Ray which revealed that there was loss of curvature of lumber spine said that it might be a case of disc prolapse. They were not so sure about it and told me to do a couple of more tests. However i changed my doc and showed in Ganga Ram Hospital. The doc there referred me some medicines and told me that there is an inflammation in my lower back due to a urine infection which i had some days back.The pain was unbearable in the first few days. But the medicines seemed to work for first few days.However now a mild pain has started again.i cant stand for too long and the pain increases when i take too much of stress.Can you please help?

Dear Dr. Sharma,
I’ve been suffering from Sciatica pain since last 6 yrs, my age is 29 yrs.
I got this pain at the age of 18 yrs, while i was actively participating in sports such as 100m running, football, high jump and long jump. I usually used to land on my back while doing the jumps. I started feeling a bit pain, i even consultated a doctor, but he said that i’m still young for him to diagnose me. Then after 5 years from than without involving myself in any kind of sports, while i was running to catch my lecture, i felt this acute pain and i was unable to move and fell down.
The doctors said that it is a case of disk prolapse. I got it treated later with a help of a bone setter, but still i was having uneasiness and now again the severe pain started after 4 years. The pain earlier was in my right leg and now it kind of shifted to my left leg.
I have been struggling with this from long time.
I am working as an Software engineer. I am in front of the system for more than 8 hours a day.
PLEASE HELP ME OUT
Sincerely thanking you for your suggestions

Dear Doc,
Im a 26yrs old guy (58kgs). 10 weeks back I injured my back L5-S1 (minor slipped disc) while playing football. I was playing football for past 8 months, every Sunday, and also go to gym regularly. At the time of injury I only had pain while sitting without support and while standing and walking. I was on bed rest for 3 weeks and then resumed going to office. First week I took homeopathy medicine (hyericum), rest 2 weeks alopathy (muscle relaxants, no pain killers). After 3 weeks I started with ayurvedic treatment which included some hot oil treatment. I do yoga for 15-20 mins every morning, for past 4-5weeks. Now there is no much pain except for a tiring feeling, slight numbness on upper hip muscles, thigh muscles and calf muscles. Mostly on right leg, might be because while playing my whole weight went on my right leg. Till now I didnt feel any severe pain or electric shocks. Some times I could feel pain on my back while bending forward, which I normally avoid. Now for past one week I have started R 71, 3-4 times a day, 10-15 drops.
By profession I am a software engineer and I have to travel 3-3.5hrs a day which I do in cab sitting in front and wearing the waist belt.
I would like to continue with Homeopathic medicine, kindly suggest me the medicines. My concern is, how much more time it would take to fully recover? Also, would I be able to play football in future? After how much time could I resume doing workout in gym? I am very worried if I could lead a normal life as I used to.

Piyush.

I am writing to you because my girlfriend has recently been diagnosed with Sciatica. She has spent several weeks in hospital, where she was given morphine and an epidural. Since been discharged from hospital she has tried to live without using prescribed pain killers unless the pain is to its extreme. She has the pain down the full length of her leg and walks with a limp. Everything she does takes all she has some days. She seems to have no peace from this problem in over 6 months. I have read a lot of articles on line recently to help me understand her condition better.
If you could recommend anything that may help ease her pain I would be eternally grateful.
I hope to hear from you soon

Respected Sir,
My name is Ujwal. I am working in a Government office on contract basis. My work is to visit all mandal in My Division and solve the hardware problems of all my mandals. I have been sufferring with Sciatica pain from 2years. Before 2years back I have learned Martial Arts and also teached martial Arts. But now I cant teach Martial Arts due to this pain. It is becoming very horrible with this pain, I even can’t sleep with out having any pain killers for this pain.
I have used all types of Allopathy, Ayurvedic and Homeopahty medicines, but there is no use. Some body told me that only Yoga is the best medicine for this pain. But I did’nt have such time. I have to go to work by morning 8.00 am and return to 10.00 pm.
So, I humbly request you to suggest any good Medicine to me that will get rid me from this pain.
yours faithfully,
S.Ujwal

Q. i am 55 years I was diagnosed disc prolapse of L4-L5 on the right side and advised to go for surgery. Another doctor advised me complete bed rest and after taking bed rest for 15 days I became normal. After two years I again had sciatica pain which was relieved by rest.I had severe problem in walking for more than 2-3 mins. My posture itself changed with a tilt to left. I took treatment from a local orthopaedician. His observations is pain at L5-S1. X-ray: lumbar spine spasm ++, total loss of lumbar lordosis. I still have problem in walking. I am able to lift my legs etc. but there is more pain on buttock and less on thigh and calf muscles, ankle.I consulted specialists from gulbarga and was advised to go for MRI scan. His clinical findings are: Left sciatica ++, SLR right 15deg cross +ve, SLR left 30 deg +ve, reflexes- ankle diminished. He is more inclined towards surgery but I am not interested in surgery. Then I consulted another doctor who had seen me two years back. He asked me to continue walking as it was okay. He advised 7 days strict bed rest. I have purchased a traction kit and am taking traction in the morning and evening for 1 hour. Already 5 days are over. I have improved but in the morning when I get up I have severe pain on buttock (left side); no pain on right side. I have not tried walking. My questions are: 1. Can the disc prolapse shift from right side to left? 2. Can I continue the traction for one hour in the morning and then in the evening? 3. How safe is surgery and do I require it? 4. What are the alternatives to surgery? 5. How to increase the disc fluid? Are there any medicines? 6. Will taking bed rest for 1 more week help?

I have severe lumbar stenosis L3 & L4. The surgeon would like to fix this by fusing the vertebrae together and then use nuts and bolts to keep the spine stable. Since I’m in my 70s I would like to avoid such major surgery. I read your article above were you say, “Acute cases need to be treated differently with different set of homoeopathic medicines like Rhus tox, Arnica, Ruta, Hypericum, Variolinum, Agaricus and Bryonia.” Do you think I should start with one of these, and if so which would you recommend . You also say,” Homoeopathic medicines Kali Carb, Calcarea flour, Aesculus, Cobaltum, and Rhus tox can work wonders in resolving these unfinished cases.”
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you

sir, is there any effective treatment for spondylolethesisis and mild spina bifida in homeopathy?
thanking you.
Dear Doc,
I have been suffering from lower back pain for several years now. Most often the pain is on the left side on my lower back and travels down the thigh and leg. However, I have also suffered on the right side with similar symptoms. The first major attack was experienced in 2004 when I could not lie down in any posture whole night and had to sit and spend the whole night.
Next day, I consulted a neurologist, who suggested that its not a slip disk but stiffening of back muscles. He prescribed some pain killers, muscle relaxing capsules and suggested physiotherapy. I underwent physiotherapy for 15 days and got good benefit. But since then it has been recurring and I have been undergoing sessions of physiotherapy. I have recently tried accupressure which too could not releive me of my pain.
Request you to suggest me an appropriate course of medicine for a long term cure/prevention.
Regards

Hi Dr Sharma………….I am a pracing doctor in UK in Allopathy, I had just bumped on to your website as my efforts to find remedy of slipped disc that I am down with. A excruciating pain (tearing kind) at lower back along with sciatica at some times……….”Pain is relieved when I lie down and reappears when I start walking and does not relieve until again I lie down. I am using back belt with magnets in it while walking with mild benefit.” I had suffered with it since many years with waxing and waning course of these symptoms………Present relapse is the worst I believe……..Please guide me………I am already taking Arnika 30 every 4 hours and Rhus Tox 1000 every 4 hours, both medicines on alternating days………..Many thanks in anticipation………

I have been given pain killers, nevoromin, traction and IFT for 3 weeks.
As i can feel that i am progressing , but i do get pain sometimes on the left side, needle pain, last for few seconds. I also started getting pain on the right side.. I have been taking care of every movement. I do get pain when i started walking for long, standing for long. I am comfortable in sitting posture and lyind down. I want to know is there a permanent cure and whether i can do normal activities. I have fear that whether the shocking pain will recur. Currenlty i have been advised to do back exercises.
Iam suffering for the last two years and the symptoms are :
sever lower back pain
whenever there is pain there is bitterness in the mouth
whenever there is pain there is numbness in the rt. leg

Q. i am 32 years I was diagnosed disc prolapse of L4-L5 on the right side and My posture itself changed with a tilt to right and advised to go for surgery. Another doctor advised me complete bed rest and recommend me some exercises and after taking bed rest for 30 days I became 50% normal. and my posture also become quite normal. Sometimes Still i feel pain in my back after sitting more than 30 mins. I still have problem in walking more than 10min and standing feels more problem. I am able to lift my legs etc. my MRI study of lumbar spine reveals posterocentral disc extrusion at L4-L5 level resulting in mild cannal narrowing. Weight of L4-L5 disc is reduced. Please suggest me some good homeopathic medicine for complete healing.
Four months back when I was moving by walk, my knee got some sound and started some severe pain. Awaited for some time and when got normalcy, started moving, but after 12/15 hr. I felt that movement in my knee is getting painful. Contacted Bone specialist who took X-ray where nothing was observed. Dr.’s prescribed some food suppliments and Etoricoxib tabs (for pain control)with in-house physiotherapy . No other problems have been observed as such. However- the Ortho Surgeon has asked for MRI Test which is yet to be done. In the mean time I have observed that in my right foot there are some greenish nerve which on touch – not feeling well . At the same time when I started my movement , there is some fat nerve behind the knee which appears and create obstacle in the movement of knee. I also feel pain in left side of the right knee with JALAN and comparatively the knee part has swallen. It has also been observed that some time pain started from back buttok which comes to knee.I would be obliged if your sincere guide is made available to me in this regard.

Dear Dr.,
My wife in 37 year old, suffering from right sided sciatic pain. She had the sciatic pain earlier around 12 years ago. At that moment doctors gave her 3 injections of Neurobion. After the treatment she got relief. But again since last month she is facing acute pain in her right leg. May I request you to suggest some Homoeopathy treatment to get rid of the pain.
Thank you in anticipation.
Dear Sir,
My mother is 59 years old, few years back she went to tirupati for volunteer service for Brahmostavas, at that time she fell down steps and recovered very soon from the pain. Later after two years the pain was very acute, from right thight to lower part of the leg, even sometimes she will get back pain also if still continuing her work. Two and half years back she took pancha karma treatment for scaitica and took some Rasayana pills for more than six months. She was fine for two years and after that again she is getting back pain now, if her routine work was increased or made any travels to other places. Is really any medicine available for scaitica in homeopathy? and is there permenant cure for that? Please let me know. If you want reports i will give attachment. Recently we met MD in a corporate hospital, he suggested for an Operation, because its only permanent solution. Is it right? Please let me know all the things
Thanking you

Dear Dr. Sharma,

In the last 14 months before I felt pin prickling in my left leg at the time when I get stand and sit. This remain contunied for a week then leg pain was started at the time of walking. After few minutes walking I felt relax. I consulted a physician and took medicine(Alopathic) and regularly doing back exercise. A little relief I feel. According to my MRI report L4 & L5 gap is reduced and the lumen too. Please advice me to get releif from this problem.

Now, After 8 years I have a same growth over the size 3.5cm X 3.5Cms in T9 level and chord compressed. Because of this, I am loosing sensation & strength gradually below the hip level.

I’m suffering from slip disc (L5S1). Doctor says the disc space is reduced. Although the pain is not extremely bad, thinking about my back is on top of my list all the time. The Ortho feels there is no need of surgery as of now, But i travel by bus through bad road everyday twice, I sit for long in the office. I have no time for walk, but i do 3 simple exercises advised by the physiotherapist. But i strongly feel its not helping me much. I am really afraid/reluctant about surgery for various reasons and hence, i want my back to be atleast close to alright. I’m only 25 and recently married. But i feel so depressed and sad all the time due to problems with my back. Please help me.
